Background: Green electronic exams are a fundamental component of the e-learning process. Green education has emerged as a strategy for fostering environmental awareness. Aim of the Study: Explore the levels of perceived green electronic exams effectiveness, facilitators, barriers, and nursing students’ satisfaction within the context of green education. Subject and Method: A descriptive correlational, comparative research design was utilized. The study was conducted with 1,030 nursing students from three Nursing Colleges; Assiut, Sohag, and South Valley. A simple random sampling technique was employed to select students from the eligible population at each college. Data collection tools included: personal and academic information, green electronic exams facilitators scale (14 items across 4 dimensions), green electronic exams barriers scale (19 items across 4 dimensions), electronic exam satisfaction assessment scale (18 items) and green E-Exam effectiveness scale (34 items across 6 dimensions). Results: Students from College of Nursing Assiut University reported the highest levels of effectiveness (22.7%), facilitators (68.3%), and satisfaction (79.8%), while perceiving the lowest level of barriers (55%%). Strong positive associations found among all core scales of green electronic exam (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: there is a statistical significant associations were identified with Last Semester Score/ academic performance , place of residence with green exam effectiveness, facilitators, barriers and nursing student’s satisfaction p ≤ 0.001. Recommendations: Integrate green education principles into exam content & delivery. Future researches to explore longitudinal approaches to deepen understanding of digital transformation in nursing education.
Background: Nurse to patient's ratio having great effect on quality of patients care provided especially patient's safety. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of nurse patient's ratio on patient‟s safety. Research design: descriptive, correlational research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at Assiut Fever Hospital (Isolation, Hemodialysis and Health insurance units). Subject: 55 nurses were observed. Tools : Personal data sheet and patient's safety observational check list were used. Results: Nurses shortage appear in dialysis unit followed by health insurance unit and the highest percentage of shortage appear in isolation unit (53.4%, 61.5%, and 72%). Nurse patient's ratio have positive relation with nurses‟ application of general and medication safety standards in morning shift (0.748, 0.778) respectively. There is a positive relation between the nurse patient's ratio in evening shift (100%), but in night shift was (98.2%) for not met general patient safety standards and 100% for medication safety standards Conclusion: There were statistically significant differences between nurses‟ application of patient's safety standards dimensions and nurse patient's ratio in the three shifts Recommendation: Developing strategies to use nurse patient's ratio effectively and provide continuous training for nurses about national patient's safety standards.
Background: The problem-solving process is a complex procedure that requires the integration of multiple skills. A positive work climate is considered essential for ensuring an organization’s sustainability. Aim of the study: investigate the effect of work climate on problem-solving skills among teaching staff members and their assistants at the Faculty of Nursing Assiut University. Subject and method: A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design was utilized, involving 212 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data collection tools included a personal characteristics questionnaire, the Problem-Solving Scale (32 items across 8 dimensions), and the Work Climate Scale (39 items across 11 dimensions). Results: Findings revealed that 21.7% of staff showed high problem-solving skills versus 15.6% of assistants. Additionally, 45.3% of staff perceived a highly positive climate compared to 32.1% of assistants. Significant associations were found between problem-solving skills and personal factors such as age, gender, experience, and residence (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The study concluded that teaching staff demonstrated slightly higher levels of problem-solving skills and more positive perceptions of work climate compared to assistants. Personal characteristics like gender, experience, and residence significantly affect problem-solving skills and perceptions of work climate among nursing faculty and assistants. Recommendation: The study recommends targeted training, inclusive leadership strategies, and regular evaluation of organizational interventions to enhance problem-solving skills and foster a positive work environment within academic nursing settings.
